Proposals for Gas Tax Increase Spark Alabama Protest
Former Highway Director John N Rodgers suggestion to add a cent per gallon gas tax to fix finances draws strong opposition from the Alabama Petroleum Industries Committee. Charles Brantley cites existing $100 million three-year highway tax receipts and cites repeated county defeats of gasoline tax measures to argue against higher levies while urging efficient use of current funds. The Selma Times Journal notes Florida votes show anti Truman and anti Pepper sentiment, with Florida and Alabama appointing delegates to the national convention by primary, and Pepper's influence waning in Florida.
